Next up in Ghost Stories, I present to you Ana Lily Amirpour’s 2014 stylish vampire western horror film, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Amirpour evades categorization in her nuanced, intertextual debut feature and successfully creates the perfect desolate atmosphere in the fictional Iranian town, Bad City, for her cool-girl vampire to prey on men. Amirpour challenges both the male and western gaze with her morally complex depiction of a vampire girl.
